Abstract
The invention provides improved agents and methods for treatment of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and methods to effect prophylaxis of CAA. The methods can treat CAA concurrently with Alzheimer'"'"'s disease or separately. The methods can effect prophylaxis of CAA concurrently with Alzheimer'"'"'s disease or separately. The methods involve administering antibody that is specific for the N-terminus of Aβ or an agent that can induce such an antibody.
